Today’s episode is all about living simply and the topic of the moment, minimalism! We discuss how we’ve incorporated minimalism into our lives, how these practices relate to overall health, and how we minimize the clutter in not just our homes and our closets, BUT ALSO our minds. We started things off with a not-so-minimal potato chip TASTE TEST, where we sampled 6 (really) different flavors (cheese plate style) and ranked our favorites.

On the Table Chat scale of “Flavor Awesomeness/Least Offensive”, we both ended up liking the same flavor! Here is a list of what we tried:

We also talked about our weird childhood rituals of purging our bedrooms of unnecessary clutter and being mini-minimalists in training. We were the coolest 10-year-olds on the planet. You’re so jealous right now, admit it. P.S Stick around for the bloopers, because we have a little freestyle rap session featuring Outkast.

In today’s episode we chat all things beauty! We enjoy a homemade food-based face mask and lip scrub- both are EDIBLE! As Erinn states, you can have a face mask at night, and breakfast come morning. Rachel suggests dipping some summer fruits into it- maybe even swipe a chunk of watermelon right across your face while wearing the mask. We won’t judge. Next time, we may add more sugar to the lip scrub to make it more gritty like our favorite lip scrub from Lush (Rachel likes Mint Julep, Erinn likes Popcorn!).

We talk our beauty philosophies, our biggest beauty mistakes (re: sperm-shaped eyebrows), what’s inside our makeup bags, and our tips for looking and feeling your most beautiful both inside and out! We got the idea from our favorite Beauty Uniform series on Cup of Jo, and from one of our favorite podcasts, The Girl Next Door Podcast, which currently has two different beauty-related episodes out (listen to those episodes here and here!).

As promised, we are linking to all the products we used (and them some!).

Slather it on (avoiding the eye area), then wipe off with a warm washcloth after 15 minutes. Feeling tingly? Don’t worry—that’s the cinnamon bringing oxygen-rich blood to the surface of skin, giving you a healthy glow!
